302_Exercise Web Item Analysis Modification1. Create Web Template with fix column widthYou have to perform the following tasks to create a Web Template with fix column width:

a) Start the BEx Web Application Designerb) Create a blank Web Templatec) Create a new Data Provider based on query ZIM265_QUERYd) Drag & Drop a Web Item Navigation Pane to your Web Templatee) Drag & Drop a Web Item Analysis to your Web Templatef) Change the property Modification of the Web Item Analysis to Single Moduleg) Press the Edit Parameter button and set the following parameter:? Switch Active to On? Choose Generic Module as Type and press Edit? Enter com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ColumnWidth as Implementation Name

? Press Edit on the Parameter in the Parameter List to add a new parameter? Enter COLUMN_FIX_DEFAULT as Name/Expression? Choose Integer as Value? Enter 150 as Integer? Press OK

? Press Edit on the Parameter in the Parameter List to add a new parameter? Enter COLUMN_DEFAULT as Name/Expression? Choose Integer as Value? Enter 100 as Integer? Press OK

? Close the dialogs

h) Save the Web Template under the name ZIM265_MOD_COL_WIDTH_i) Execute the Web Template

If you like, you can add more parameters to the Parameter List.

j) Add fix width for column with index 1? Press Edit on the Parameter in the Parameter List to add a new parameter? Enter COLUMN_1 as Name/Expression (_1 indicates index; alternatively, you can choose Integer in the

Placeholder List and enter 1 as Integer; see documentation for more options)? Choose Integer as Value? Enter 200 as Integer

? Press OK

k) Add fix width for column for characteristic 0D_MATERIAL? Press Edit on the Parameter in the Parameter List to add a new parameter? Enter COLUMN as Name/Expression? Choose Integer as Value? Enter 200 as Integer

701_Introduction Custom PresentationBusiness ScenarioYour Canadian subsidiary requires displaying the master data in two languages. In addition, the text will be longer thanthe allowed 60 characters.

02_Exercise Custom Presentation1. Create Web Template with fix column widthYou have to perform the following tasks to create a Web Template with fix column width:

a) Start the BEx Web Application Designerb) Create a blank Web Templatec) Create a new Data Provider based on query ZIM265_QUERY? Parameters for custom presentation could not be entered in the Data Provider dialog? Switch to the XHTML view? Extend the properties in the following way

8

? ZIM265_CL_BICS_PRES_BILINGU is the name of the ABAP class (use SE24 to view ABAP class)? LANGUAGE_1 and LANGUAGE_2 are parameters that a read in the ABAP method

IF_BICS_CONS_MD_EXIT~INITIALIZE? In ABAP method IF_BICS_CONS_MD_EXIT~GET_EXTENSIONS the technical name of the Custom

Presentation (that is used later in step e5) is defined? In ABAP method IF_BICS_CONS_MD_EXIT~GET_VALUES the different languages are read and the new text

concatenated
